504: Chapter 503 Wilson: Rather than begging for mercy, prove your worth!
"Everyone, this is not the time for panic!"
Chancellor Merkel of Germany forced herself to calm down.
She tapped on the table, trying to rouse her colleagues who had lost their focus.
"We absolutely cannot sit and wait for death!"
"Sit and wait for death?"
The President of Italy, Kaspersky, spread his hands with a look of despair.
"Chancellor Merkel, have you forgotten about the Azure Dragon Supplement?"
"Before, we, the so-called vice-chair nations of the Huaxia United Organization..."
"...how many times did we humble ourselves to apply to Huaxia... no, to beg! To beg them to grant us the Azure Dragon Supplement!"
"But what was the result?"
"Huaxia watched with indifference as our Western nations suffered from the rampant pandemic, watched as our mortality rates and death tolls skyrocketed day by day, and to this day, they are still unwilling to release their Azure Dragon Supplement!"
"Aside from praying for the people of Huaxia to show mercy, what else can we do now?"
"Can we even resist?"
"Should we use our tanks and planes that still rely on gunpowder to fight against their aerospace carriers, Xuan-Nu Fighter Jets, and those damn Huaxia Iron Men?"
Kaspersky's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the flicker of hope that had just been ignited.
Indeed. How could they resist? What could they resist with?
In the face of absolute power, any strategy is meaningless.
The conference room fell into a deathly silence once again.
Everyone could see that emotion called "despair" in each other's eyes.
They were once the top tier of people on this planet, the so-called "elites" who controlled the fates of billions.
But now, in the face of the absolute strength displayed by Huaxia, they were no different from the aimless vagrants on the street.
"No."
Just as everyone was falling into despair, Wilson, who had been silent, spoke up again.
Wilson's voice was not loud, but it was like a beam of light, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"We still have a chance."
Wilson slowly stood up and walked to the giant screen on the left side of the conference room.
He extended a trembling finger, pointing at the "Yunan Tian Space City" on the screen, a structure so magnificent it seemed otherworldly.
"The people of Huaxia have announced that construction on this space city will begin next month."
"Have you thought about what this means?"
Everyone looked at each other.
After the series of blows they had received, most of those present were mentally paralyzed and could not immediately understand what Wilson meant.
"This means that this will be a super project!"
Wilson's voice suddenly rose.
"An unprecedented super project, the most massive one in human history, one capable of draining the resources of the entire Blue Planet!"
"Such a massive global project will inevitably require the vast majority, if not all, of the world's resources, and it will inevitably require..."
Wilson emphasized each word, "...a massive labor force!"
"And these are the opportunities for us to survive!"
Macron's eyes lit up.
He seemed to have grasped something.
"Prime Minister Wilson, you mean..."
"Exactly!"
Wilson nodded heavily, his face regaining a spark of vitality.
"Our previous line of thinking was completely wrong!"
"We were always thinking about how to beg and plead, how to show our loyalty to Huaxia, and how to prove that we are harmless!"
"But we forgot that between nations, the most stable relationship is never begging and charity, but irreplaceable utility!"
